We gave a weather-themed birthday party for my brother, who constantly keeps an eye on conditions. It was fun to come up with appropriate names for some of his favorite recipes. Fluffy garlic mashed potatoes and carrots became Clouds at Sunset. They're topped with a gravy of ground beef and peas we called Pea Soup Fog for the occasion. -Ndara Pike, Tempe, Arizona

The recipe is good, you need to add a few extra spices to get the flavor you like, but besides that it is good.

I made this recipe when it first appeared in TOH several years ago. I liked it, and I think I may make a few changes when I serve it again. The meat mixture was a tad bland, so I'll add some garlic powder and steak seasoning. I'd also like to try using sweet potato in place of the carrots.
